 VERSE 1:
 
 Bm                            G                 
  Too many broken hearts have fallen in the river
 
 D          D/C#              E                
  Too many lonely souls have drifted out to sea

  You lay your bets and then you pay the price

 VERSE 2:
 Communication is the problem to the answer
 You've got her number and your hand is on the phone
 The weather's turned and all the lines are down
 The things we do for love

                     D            D/A               D          D/A 
 Like walking in the rain and the snow when there's nowhere to go
 
             Em             Em/D           A/C# A 
 When you're feeling like a part of you is dying
 
            Bm              Bm/A          G   E 
 And you're looking for the answer in her eyes

 You think you're going to break up, then she says she wants to make up...

 BRIDGE 2:
 Ooh you make me love you Ooh you've got a way
 Ooh you had me crawling up the wall... (pause)
 
 VERSE 3:
 A compromise would surely help the situation
 Agree to disagree, but disagree to part
 When after all it's just a compromise
 Of the things we do for love (the things we do for love)
 G/A(fr7) D(fr5) G/A(fr7) D(fr5)
 The things we do for love (the things we do for love) (repeat to fade)
